got a new baitcaster

[KenDammit]

A Quantam Accurist PT. It feels like a super nice reel, too bad its freakin cold here, I'm dyin to go try it out. I kept looking for a store that had a TD-Advantage but no one seems to carry them here, so I went ahead and got this one. It was only 100 dollars with the Black Friday deal I got from Dicks, so I say its a good deal any way ya go.

Do any of you like these reels and have any of you heard any bad things about them? The model number is AC500PT

[zooker]

there a good reel for the money. smooth, reliable. so what if it is cold go out there and backlash the blasted thing -you know you are going to-

Don't be a momma's boy get out there now! Just remember to dress warm.

Ya may need to find a big body of water, all our ponds here are skimmed over with about 1/2 inch of sludgey ice

[Fishie]

I live in MO and there is only ice in the back of coves.

You telling me you have a new baitcaster brings one thing to my mind lol get out there and use that thing man what you waitin on christmas lol

[KenDammit]

lol, no, bad back+cold=stiff as a board.

not to mention stiff knees, shoulder, and wrists. Being a catcher and pitcher for 16 years makes ya feel a little miserable in the cold. I'm gonna be casting it, no worries about that..but being on the water would be like a deathtrap to me..that nice 17 degree weather yesterday was enough. High of 30..although there IS going to be a 72 degree day this coming week...i can use that one lol.

JB there has been ice here, too. I was noticing it yesterday...water looks like ice cubes that have just been put in the freezer. Not solid just kinda mushy on the top.

[zooker]

i got one of them. i like it alot. it casts far and really smooth. but whenever u change the breaks on it make sure u have smooth line on the spool or ull get backlash up the behind. one time i had the breaks on 2 and i casted out a senko and i got a backlash all the way to the bottom of the spool. and that was th only reel i had at the time.

[bassnman30]

Just recently purchased a Quantum Accurist PT. It's a nice reel and I like it. It's smooth and casts well.

[KenDammit]

I like it, too...but I'll like it even more when I catch my first fish with it..lol. I went out not too long ago and used it because I was too anxious to try it out to wait until the spring...and everything was great. Only time I had a hint of backlash was when I had a wet hand and the reel kinda slipped from my grasp and my thumb came off the spool. Other than that, I can cast better, smoother, quieter, on and on and on...so I'm satisfied..reels like a dream and I couldn't find a single problem with it.

You and Zook are wuss'ess, young whipper snappers that's what you are, can't take the cold. I got five compressed disc in lower back and two 4in titanium rods with 10 titanium bolts with matching lock nuts and two titanium plates, along with to electrode leads with 4 electrodes on each lead burried on either side of my spine that's attached to a power pack burried in my tush with a garrage door opener as a remote control for zapping the pain when I'm setting in my tracker, plus I'm older than both of you put togather. Oh! I forgot to tell you one thing! My wife won't let me go fishing when it gets cold..Do that make me a mama's boy? Maybe so.

[KenDammit]

LOL, pretty funny post

[zooker]

so is that why your walker has power steering?? metal rods are NOT fun at any time much less when it is cold.. does all that titanium bling come with spinner wheels? sorry but i know the feeling river.. felt like i was 65 the other day.
